• SMART CLUB, an example.
• A one stop shop
• A wareouse based on parallel import for branded products
• The power is in the retail part of the distribution chain

The supply chain• TRADITIONAL
1. Manufacturers, or trademark owners
2. Wholesalers
3. Pharmacies
• PARALLEL DISTRIBUTION
– New steps, 3 new palyers
– A large detour
– Discounting
– Very effective
– Societal benefit
– Well adapted to changes
PI - a detour
Evolution = adaption

A market, or an ecology?1. The patient is not informed,
and the decision making process is split in 3 for reimbursed medicine
2. Some criteria for an efficient market: 1. Large number of non-dominant
players2. Informed customers3. Rational behaviour
3. The pharmaceutical market is an agglomeration of monopolies
DTC – Direct to Customer Marketing, may be considered an opportunity to empower the customer

The model, the animals in the wood
• The market may be described as an ecology
• The market is governed by natural selection
• Dinosaurs
• Fat cats
• Birds, examples of effective down-sizing

Example of a story
”Wrong use and side effects of parallel import is known by 15% of the health personel”
• It is expensive to tell
• It tries to belittle the PI industry
• It puts shame on those selling PI
• Do you think it works?
